Below is a link to a very short narrative sharing two fictitious conversations that take place immediately after an EMP attack on the United States. One conversation is between a husband and wife who are prepared for disasters. The other is between a husband and wife who are NOT prepared for disaster.

Although it is a very short read (3-5 minutes), it does an excellent job of communicating the possible realities of those who prepare, and those who do not. Enjoy.

And as always, if we can help you and your family prepare in anyway, we would be honored to do so.

The above graphic is one of our newest Ready Center logos that we will be integrating into our websites. What do you think?!

In the coming months we are planning on expanding our company and catching up on a few things. We are planning on changing our Ready Center Store format so that it is even more user friendly and exciting to look at. We will be expanding our product line, dedicating one person to focus exclusively on our Ready Center Blog, as well as taking on an additional staff to help keep us on top of our game!

Do you have idea’s of how we could better serve you with our blog, store, facebook page, twitter, etc? If so, let us know. You may even get free survival gear sent your way as a thank you for the great idea!

We GREATLY appreciate all of your business and subscription to The Ready Center Blog. If you have any survival/preparedness needs, please let us know. We’d love to help.

After dealing with the onslaught of “Memorial Day” photos all over Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and the rest of the internet, it seems necessary that someone remind America what Memorial Day is really about. And what it’s not about.

On May 9, 2014, bad news came to those of us who have come to appreciate the American Post-Apacalyptic television genre. NBC announced that it would not renew Revolution for a 3rd season.

For those of you who haven’t had the pleasure of viewing Revolution, it really is an outstanding show. It came from the director of IronMan and was produced by J.J. Abrams (the guy who brought us LOST).

Revolution takes place 15 years after the start of a worldwide, permanent electrical-power blackout. All electricity on Earth was suddenly disabled at a moment’s notice. Trains and cars stopped where they were, ships went dead in the water, and aircraft fell from the sky and crashed. No cell phones, no working gasoline pumps, no running water, no grocery stores full of products, and for many people, no hope. People were forced to adapt to a world without electricity over the next fifteen years. The story (more…)

We have another update for you! And on top of that we want to give a HUGE thanks to all of you in The Ready Center Community for both supporting us and each other! We are proud to be the central hub and connecting point for so many caring and selfless people. Anybody can prepare to care for their family and loved ones, but what we appreciate most about this community is the sheer willingness to use your preparations to show care for others when they are down and out. It has truly left me speechless on more than one occasion. Thank you for that.

And now for what’s new with THE READY CENTER:

We have added over 100 New Products to our store since our last update and are expanding our product line almost daily! Check it out!

In addition to using Paypal as your preferred payment option, our store now accepts all major credit cards including American Express. We hope this make your shopping experience here at The Ready Center that much more enjoyable.

We are well aware that the carrier we were using for shipping was causing a HUGE price increase to the customer. Well… WE HAVE FIXED IT!!! We have added an additional carrier which has reduced shipping rates by almost 110% in some cases. (I know, wow!) Add some items to your cart and get a shipping quote before completing your order. We are sure you’ll be impressed!

We have also updated the Glossary page on our Blog to include and explain even more terms you may encounter while learning and exploring within the preparedness community. If you think a certain item, term, saying, or piece of equipment should be included in our Glossary, please forward us the information and we’ll get to it ASAP.

We have also added a “Contact Us” page (click here) so we can better serve you with your individual preparedness concerns and product related questions.

Lastly, we are giving Twitter a try. If you like to tweet and would like to receive an occasional tweet from The Ready Center, click here to follow us.

Well, that’s all for now. Please let us know if there is anything else we can do to serve you better!
